Error: Unable to find service named autofs in systemd. RHEL8.1 #797
Description
Attempting to deploy the RHEL79.MOF file from ato-toolkit using the latest DSC for linux release 1.2. Seems to work without issues until it reaches a nxService resource - then fails.
Error: Unable to find service named autofs in systemd.

Installing omi-server and dsc with the following script
# Install repository configuration
curl -sSL https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/8/prod.repo | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/microsoft-prod.repo
# Install Microsoft's GPG public key
curl -sSL https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc > ./microsoft.asc
## Import
sudo rpm --import ./microsoft.asc
## Install OMI
sudo yum -y install omi
sudo wget https://github.com/microsoft/PowerShell-DSC-for-Linux/releases/download/v1.2.0-0/dsc-1.2.0-0.ssl_110.x64.rpm
sudo rpm -Uvh dsc-1.2.0-0.ssl_110.x64.rpm
## now DSC is installed - what do we do about it.
Thanks.
